This study examines the effect of random heterogeneity of soil properties on bearing
capacity. The stochastic soil property considered is the undrained shear strength and two …

A practical approach to explain the consequences of seismic hazards for society and
decision making organisations is predicting the seismic risk. In this regard, the Probabilistic …

Geotechnical engineering problems are characterized by many sources of uncertainty.
Some of these sources are connected to the uncertainties of soil properties involved in the …

To reveal the seismic response of underground structures in coral sand, a series of shaking
table model tests on underground structures at four different groundwater levels were …

The natural variability of soil properties within geologically distinct and uniform layers has
been proven to greatly affect soil behaviour and to induce significant variability in the …

The objective of this paper was to investigate the dynamic response of a tunnel-soil system
in the soil with spatial variability of shear modulus with various coefficients of variation and …

The present paper advocates a probabilistic framework for assessing structural vulnerability
against earthquakes. This is justified by the significant randomness that characterizes not …

This paper provides a description of the extension of Biot's theory for dynamic behavior of
saturated porous media into the nonlinear regime that was introduced by the second author …

The assessment of building damage caused by liquefaction-induced ground deformations
requires the definition of building capacity and vulnerability as a function of the demand, as …

This paper presents a study of the influence of inelastic dynamic soil–structure interaction
(DSSI) on the seismic vulnerability assessment of buildings. The seismic vulnerability is …
